Table of ContentsReviews“The book provides a nuanced insight into the relationship of U.S.-born Mexicans and Mexican Americans confronting a criminal justice system as an underrepresented minority. In near Kafkian situations, the protagonists face bizarre and surrealistic situations and incomprehensible institutionalized bureaucratic powers overlayed with racism and sexism. It provides insights into the alienation and anxiety that minorities confront in the courts through the lens of a self-proclaimed rascuache lawyer and professor.” - Avelardo Valdez, author of Mexican American Girls and Gang Violence: Beyond Risk “Ordinary Injustice provides a real-life story of a toxic relationship between two students that escalates into a possible life sentence in prison. If it were not for the rascuache legal defense team, it is hard to imagine a better outcome. If only everyone had such a defense!” - Robert J.
